Chapter 137: Silent Echo 07┃ "Not mine."

While faceless people are busy dealing with those stubborn souls, of course Zhou Yue and Mu Qin will not be idle.
After they stabilized in the ocean of hundreds of souls, they began to contact these numerous souls. Most of these souls have lost their ego, and all of them are like lunatics. Some are crying insignificantly, and some are constantly. Weeping, making noise hysterically and without interruption.
Mu Qin and Zhou Yue tried to contact some of these souls. They contacted a soul that was crying and crouched into a small squat in the corner.
Mu Qin and Zhou Yue reached out their spiritual tentacles and touched the crying soul, and then they could feel the great sadness oncoming. This crying soul had no thoughts or memories, and only endless sadness emerged from it.
Mu Qin and Zhou Yue touched the other souls one by one, and found that the situation was very similar. These souls were unconscious and remembered. Only the strong emotions left on the soul were left. Some were angry, some were sad, some were pain ... Without exception are negative emotions.
After coming into contact with each other, Mu Qin and Zhou Yue still made some new discoveries. They found that very few of these souls left a little bit of self-consciousness, but the self-consciousness was very weak, and there was basically no way to form a free "thought". There are only some repetitive thought messages.
Like Muqin, one of them felt, this barely self-conscious soul, the message remaining in its thought is a person's name, I do n’t know if it is its own name or someone else ’s name, but this name has always emerged from this Deep in the soul's mind, it is deeply engraved, and the name will make this soul have a strong sense of sadness.
Although they have been working very hard to restrain themselves, but with so many negative emotions, Mu Qin and Zhou Yue will inevitably be "infected" by these bad negative emotions, so they stop touching these souls and start using positive emotions. Soothe each other.
While Mu Qin and Zhou Yue touched these souls, there were also some souls trying to actively contact Mu Qin and them. However, these attempts to actively contact Mu Qin and Zhou Yue's souls looked strangely shaped.
Judging from the appearance of the human soul, it is a mass of white mist and haze, which is almost transparent and has no physical shape. When moving, this white mist will slightly disperse and flow in an irregular shape. When not moving, it will Shrinks into a small ball and turns into a misty ball.
If this is the real world, living humans will not be able to see these "fogs" with the naked eye, because these souls are energy bodies gathered with clusters of energy, storing the emotions and self-memory of living creatures.
Unfortunately, the soul cannot exist forever. As time passes, the energy of the soul will be gradually consumed. At the same time, as the energy decreases, the memory, emotion, and self that the soul can store slowly decrease.
The poor souls are faced with a cruel choice at this time. They must give up their memories and emotions ... and even have to give up on themselves. Only by giving up these can the speed of soul energy consumption slow down. They must strive to make themselves "exist." Longer time, because only by doing so can you win the chance of reincarnation.
This world is extremely cruel, and even after death, there is no so-called carefree paradise.
Correspondingly, the terrible is just a legend in people's dreams.
After the creature dies, the soul will stay in the world for a long time. After the lingering time has passed, the soul will be automatically brought into a "transit station" by a magical force. This "transit station" is a very huge space of alienation. There are a large number of souls stored therein, and they will be purified or sublimated here, and then introduced into various worlds in batches, reborn and born in a new life form.
Some souls may still be on Earth, some have already traveled to other universes, and may become unknown creatures that humans cannot understand in their entire lives.
The bad thing is that this "soul transfer station" is not so easy to enter. Maybe it was intentionally set up. Basically all souls have to wait for a very long time before entering the transfer station. In order to wait for the opportunity of "reincarnation", The souls are forced to strip everything from their lives, even to deprive themselves, and become the most primitive form of soul energy body. Only in this way, may we get a pity from heaven.
But more souls are headed for doomed death.
Maybe it's not willing to give up on itself, maybe it's still full of incredible nostalgia for this world, maybe it can never accept the fact that it is dead.
It is better to have good memories, precious feelings and a unique self to perish, rather than give up everything and get a new life.
After all, no one knows that after you have lost all your emotional memories and ego, are you still born after being reborn?
However, for the souls trapped in the marginal world, experiencing this cruel wait is actually a luxury. After all, the souls in the marginal world have been deprived of the opportunity to choose from the beginning. They can live forever in the marginal world, but they will never lose the chance of reincarnation.
The fringe world did fulfill their aspirations, and they could "live" forever.
But is it really good to be bound to such a square land to survive?
The horrible tragedy in front of him told Mu Qin that they were not good.
Except for madness, pain, sadness, and anger, there is nothing in this huge body of consciousness.
...
The only one who came to contact Mu Qin and Zhou Yue was a soul who still kept self-consciousness. It's just that this soul that can maintain self under the destruction of faceless people seems to pay some cruel price.
Because these souls are not pure white mist like other souls, but black mist state, black mist state like faceless human consciousness, distorted and exuding cold consciousness.
Heiwu's soul approached Mu Qin and Zhou Yue silently, but he was very polite. He first stretched out his black spiritual tentacles and waved to Mu Qin and Zhou Yue, as if greeting him. His body also revealed a friendly atmosphere, and the tentacles extended to Muqin's approach, asking Muqin's consent.
Mu Qin and Zhou Yue hesitated for a while. After a brief exchange of consciousness, Mu Qin chose to accept the invitation of this black soul, and then extended his spiritual tentacles and "shake hands" with each other.
The contact between the souls is equal to franking one's memories and thoughts, and one's privacy will be exposed to the other without concealment. But Muqin didn't think it mattered, because this kind of frankness is two-sided, others can understand themselves thoroughly, and they can also thoroughly understand others.
So with a simple "handshake", Muqin knew everything about this black soul.
This black soul was a European three hundred years ago and died in the midst of war. His name was Walker. Walker himself could not remember the memories of his life. He only remembered that he had a beautiful wife and lovely daughter. He seemed to protect his family from the war zone, took up arms and fled, and died. Under the muzzle.
Before he died, Walker kept his eyes open, because he didn't see the scene of his family's smooth escape. He was very uneasy. His uneasy gave him a strong desire to "live". This wish was captured by the marginal world So he successfully entered the marginal world.
But Walker's strong desire to live is for his own family, to see his family, and to confirm that they are okay. This is his ultimate wish. Now that he is trapped in a marginal world, how can he confirm the safety of his family?
Of course Walker is not reconciled. Even if the fringe world was in the "wishfulness" mode at the time, he could even imagine the scene where his family was still around him, but this is just a fantasy. People who fan out will only act according to Walker's impression. Will survive the image in Walker's impression, without self-will or emotion.
In the beginning, these fantasies can also give Walker some comfort, but with deep contact, Walker can strongly feel the huge difference between fantasy and reality. The wife and children he imagined are not and can never be his wife and child.
The stronger this sense of difference, the deeper the despair, Walker stopped fantasizing, and he desperately wanted to escape the marginal world to see his true family, even if it was the last.
Walker's obsession led him to do everything possible to survive in the marginal world, survive the war that broke out in the marginal world three hundred years ago, in the faceless people trying to assimilate everyone and erase their self-will Survive.
The only way to survive in the vast consciousness of the faceless person, and to fight against the faceless person without being dispelled by him, is to devour others just like the faceless person.
After all, the soul is a unit of energy. If only one person's energy is not enough for you to save yourself, then eat the energy of others to ensure your self.
Walker did just that, he chose to eat those souls that had completely lost self-awareness to strengthen himself.
And these devouring souls will become what Muqin sees now ... black.
Such souls that exist in the consciousness of faceless people and compete for dominance with faceless people are basically black.
"I'm envious of your pure white." Walker used his tentacles to send a message to Muqin. "But White cannot survive here. People who have been eaten by the will of the world have no way out. We can only choose to fight. "
"That's your approach," Muchin replied, "not mine."
